Simrad PX TrawlEye

Gear monitoring sensor

The Simrad PX TrawlEye is a unique multi-purpose wireless gear monitoring sensor with a built-in echo sounder.

Versatile measurement capabilities

Place the Simrad PX TrawlEye gear monitoring sensor on the headrope of your bottom trawl, or in the intermediate section of your pelagic trawl. It will provide a crisp and detailed presentation of the fish in the trawl, the bottom conditions and the status of your gear.

We provide the sensor in three different versions, each defined by the type of sensor lid.

The standard Simrad PX TrawlEye provides a real-time echogram from the trawl using the wireless link. It uses a composite echo sounder transducer enabling advanced linear frequency modulated pulses. You can configure the echo sounder to suit various fisheries. You can also adjust operational parameters such as pulse length, gain and range.

The PX TrawlEye Depth/Temperature (D/T) version will also measure depth and water temperature.

The PX TrawlEye Catch/Temperature (C/T) version will measure catch and temperature.

By default, the PX TrawlEye sensor can make two measurements. You must buy a dedicated license to add additional measurements, which allows up to five measurements simultaneously. These measurements can include echogram, roll and pitch, height, geometry differential, battery status, catch, depth, spread, and temperature.

System requirements and compatibility

This sensor is a part of the Simrad PX System.

To receive information from this gear monitoring sensor, you need a suitable receiver (PI or SR Series), one or more hydrophones, and a computer running the Simrad TV80 or Simrad PI50 programs.

This Simrad PX System is compatible with all our PI Hydrophones. However, it can also use non-Simrad hydrophones, provided the communication frequency matches.
